Put Our Service To The Test (Lumiere)

[Katalina Watson]

Love will leave you breathless or a nasty scar

Katalina Watson was not a fan of love much anymore, and she had been sure that she had lost her chance the day that Reese died. She was thoroughly convinced that Reese was her one true love, her only chance at love that she got. And she had gone through hell and back for him, only to lose him for the rest of her life. It was enough for her to almost commit suicide, and if it wasn't for Killian, she would have done so. It was funny how fate worked that way. She deciding to end her life because she lost her love, a pirate, only to change her mind because of a different pirate. Oh, the irony.

Currently, Katalina was walking down the street, alone and lost in her thoughts of her past. It was hard to believe what she had gone through in her past. It occurred to her that trouble seemed to follow her no matter how much she had tried to keep her head down and stay in the shadows. Though she had gotten better about defending herself, and that was also thanks to Killian. There was a lot that she had to be thankful for when it came to the pirate captain. And it seemed that he had found love again through Emma Swan.

Kat was happy for him, really. It meant that he would be busy with her, and Kat was once again alone, but she didn't really mind that. It just meant that her mind would think back of the past more often and make her want to drink more rum. There we go, rum. That's what I'll do; I'll get drunk off my ass tonight. She smiled to herself, not paying attention to where she was going and ultimately tripped over her own foot, falling with a shout of surprise.

Lumiere had only had his human form back for a few weeks now, and he was loving every second of it! Granted, he was starting to realize that the people in Storybrooke were a very tight knit group, and he was still working to fit in. As he walked along the streets of Storybrooke he, of course, let his eyes wonder and focus on all of the beautiful woman he was passing by. It was quite astounding how many of them were already married or had found their 'true love'. Lumiere would never try to take a woman away form her man! He believed in commitment.

Being a one-woman-at-a-time kind of man meant that Lumiere was extremely dedicated to that one woman. He would make sure that she had the world in the palm of her hands-if he could. However, he also moved into things too quickly which would most likely scare many woman away.

However, even though he was a hopeless romantic- Lumiere did have a knack for breaking the rules from time to time. Especially when it came to going into cool places that were either banned or closed for business. He loved seeing beautiful things-especially when no one was around!

As he thought about this, his eyes fell upon an extremely beautiful creature walking aimlessly in his direction. He prepared himself to say hello by running his fingers through his hair, only to have the woman shout and fall forward. He jumped toward her, catching her in his arms with a graceful lean. "My lady, having trouble keeping your balance?"

notes: i thought we'd have matching templates XD is that cool?

Katalina hated the fact that she potentially just embarrassed herself in front of a crowd, but only one person seemed to comment on it, and it caused her face to turn red because he had caught her, and she sent him a sheepy smile. The fact that he had called her his lady didn't offend her as it normally would have, and she wasn't entirely sure why.

Nervously, Kat laughed and straightened herself, tugging at the hem of her dress to be sure she wasn't showing him her goods. "Yes, it seems that I tripped over my own foot," she admitted shamefully. Though she was lucky enough to have someone who was thoughtful enough to catch her, and she knew that she should thank him. Maybe even walk off afterwards, because she didn't know if this man was dangerous or not.

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Katalina smiled again. "Um...thank you for catching me. I could have paid dearly for being a clutz." She certainly had been that, and that wasn't normal for Kat. She knew that and she was inwardly cursing herself for becoming careless.

Note: I think that's adorable! XD

Lumiere released her hand as she stood, chuckling a little at the nervous energy and the laugh that came from her. She was most likely embarrassed about the fall, but he was just glad for the opportunity! There was rarely a better way to introduce yourself to a woman, save rescuing her from harm!

"It 'appens," he commented, looking down at her feet with a quick glance before looking back up at her face in time to see her tuck her hair and smile once more. What a dazzling smile it was too! Lumiere returned with an even wider smile than he had before.

"Well, thank you for allowing me to help! You are very welcome," he held a hand out to her, "I Am Lumiere Paquet," he introduced.

Katalina could almost feel her cheeks burning red still, even after being helped back on her feet. He seemed to be chuckling about it, and she was about to say something sarcastic, but thought better of it. He could certainly have let her fall on her face and hurt herself. The man was nice enough to stop that from happening, and she was grateful of that.

When the man released her hand, Katalina had the proper chance to look at him, and she flushed at the thought that came into her mind. He was very handsome; why was she feeling attracted to a man that wasn't even Reese? There was some guilt to that, but she quickly told herself it was because the man had helped her from harm.

Katalina tilted her head a bit in confusion when he thanked her for the opportunity to help her. "Um. You're welcome." When he held out his hand and introduced himself as Lumiere Paquet, she took it without hesitancy, smiling once more. She found that she enjoyed seeing him smile. "Katalina Watson. My friends call me Kat. Well...one calls me Kitten, but that's just him." She snapped her mouth shut, realizing that she had started to ramble. She was starting to like this guy, and she wasn't sure what to make of it.

Her confusion was adorable, he couldn't deny that-nor would he want to! Lumiere had no problem admiring beautiful women. in fact, it was probably his favorite thing to do. When she took his hand, Lumiere lifted it to his lips and kissed it, of course. What else would a true french romancer do in such a situation?

"Kat," he repeated with a sultry, low voice. She really was beautiful, and she seemed to be sweet as well. That was something that beautiful women needed to have more of-kindness, sweetness, humbleness.

He released her hand, "So, where were you heading in such a hurry?" he chuckled

Katalina found that she liked the way that Lumiere said her nickname, and she was not sure if that should bother her or not. She found this whole situation a rather strange one; she'd never been this confused about something before. She didn't believe in finding love again, so maybe this was just jitters at the possibility of finding a new friend. Well, that's what she told herself, anyway.


When Lumiere released Kat's hand, she found it to feel oddly cold and she retracted her hand, leaving it at her side. "I was...um, well. I was going to go get a drink. Do you want to join me?"

[Deleted]

Awe, a woman unafraid to invite to invite a man for a drink! That showed bravery, and spunk. Lumiere liked that. He smiled with a short nodded before gesturing past himself, toward the direction she had been running. "I would be honored, lead the way!" he smiled widely as they started making their way down the sidewalk.

"I have not been here for long, you see, and I am still trying to get my bearings around here," he chuckled. It was quite embarrassed that he didn't know where to get a drink-this was his specialty in the enchanted forest! He was a well practiced Concierge, knowing where everything was for anyone to have some fun. He got paid to tell people how to party!

Katalina felt amused by the gentleman accompanying her, and she also felt lucky because she didn't really want to be alone. It would seem that luck was on Kat's side after all, and she smiled at the handsome man. As soon as that thought crossed her mind, she inwardly chided herself. You would be a fool to think that he would have any interest in someone who didn't believe in love. That would get him nowhere, remember?

"Well, you're in luck then, my friend, because I happen to know the best stop to get a drink in the town," Katalina giggled a bit, making her way to the one she always went to. What she didn't tell him was that the one she was going to was the very bar Killian bartended at. She didn't really trust anyone else out there to not spike her drink with anything questionable.

Once they arrived, Kat opened the door and went inside, keeping her arm back to hold it open for Lumiere. She then went to a seat and glanced casually around to see who was working that day. She saw, with disappointment, that Killian seemed to be off for now. Surely, luck would continue to be on her side and nothing dangerous would happen. The waitress came up, smiling pleasantly, and asked what they would like to order.

"A rum for me, and of course, whatever my friend here would like to drink."

[Deleted]

At her words of knowing the 'best stop to get a drink in town' Lumiere raised an impressed eyebrow at her and nodded slowly, "Aww! A woman after my own heart." He appreciated a woman who knew out to drink, sure, but he appreciated a woman who knew the towns hot spots even more! He happily followed her toward the place.

When they entered, Lumiere took it all in with an impressed smile and some more nodding. He nodded at Kat in thanks for holding the door open, and followed her, sitting in the empty seat beside her.

As she ordered a rum he smiled pleasantly at her, "I would like you second best wine in house please, whatever you recommend," he loved his wine, Lumiere. It was the drink of romance!

[Katalina Watson]

You find company when you're not searching for it. That was something that ran through Katalina's mind as they made their way to the bar and into their seat. She actually found it refreshing to maybe find a friend--because that is what she was firmly thinking of Lumiere--that wasn't Killian. Killian was great; he was family to her, but she knew he was in love, and she didn't want to be a bother. Any more than she already was.


Kat chuckled when Lumiere said she was after his heart. "I'm not after anyone's heart, trust me." It already happened once, she couldn't go through heartbreak again.

When the drinks were ordered, Kat turned to Lumiere. She was curious. "So, you're a wine drinker, hm?"

[Deleted]

"You are not a fan of L'Amour?" he asked with a bit of a faux offended gasp. Lumiere knew that love was one of the most important things in this world! If you did not have love, you did not have anything. At least, this was his philosophy. So, right now, he didn't have anything. This was a sad, sad concept, especially for a woman as beautiful as the one before him. Still, he could accept her lack of desire for now.

"Wine is excellent. Rum is a regular of yours?" he asked, considering she had said 'of course' to the waitress.
